𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 “𝗳**𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻”.

It shows up when your alarm goes off early in the morning.
When your body’s feeling sore.
When the weights feel heavier than last week.
When your progress doesn’t match the effort you’ve been putting in.

That’s when the little voice in your head just starts to become that little bit louder…

“Skip today.”
“I’ll start again Monday.”
“One missed session won’t matter.”

And to be honest, one session won’t.

But pressing that button isn’t about the session you want to skip.

It’s the habit of quitting when it gets uncomfortable.

Strength and progress isn’t built on your best days.

It’s built on the days you didn’t feel like showing up, but you did anyway.

Those reps when you feel tired.
The sessions you turn up for when motivation is gone.
Your ability to stay disciplined when it’s so often easy to choose comfort.

Your progress isn’t dictated by motivation.

It’s decided by how often you show up and your ability to refuse to press the button.

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬?

Training to do your first pull-up or running a 5km in a personal best time, are performance-based goals.

Performance is personal, and it means something different to everyone.

For a parent, performance might mean showing up for your family and being a positive role model for your children.

For an athlete, performance is the difference between winning or losing in a specific sport or event.

Regardless of what performance means to you...

Having performance based goals in or out of the gym, will keep you motivated to achieve, and it will allow you to achieve multiple goals simultaneously.

When you’re training, focus less on how many calories you’ve burned in your sessions and more on getting stronger, getting fitter, moving better and recovering better.

Training and training alone isn’t solely responsible for losing weight. In fact, the total amount of calories you burn in a standard training session is roughly around 10% of your overall daily calorie expenditure, and that isn’t a lot!

Rather than training to lose weight….

Train to get stronger.
Train to run quicker or further.
Train to move better and move pain free.

What are your goals right now?

13/02/2026

You crawl out of the gym drenched in sweat.
Breathing heavy.
Legs shaking.

It feels productive. It feels like progress.

But that feeling of exhaustion is not a performance metric.

A lot of people will confuse intensity with effectiveness. If every session that you do leaves you feeling f**ked, that’s not discipline, it’s poor planning.

Take a look at your week…

If it’s hard lift, hard intervals, hard conditioning, and repeating, that’s not a structured program. That’s just accumulating stress and hoping your body is able to figure it out.

When everything is high intensity, nothing stands out.

There’s no contrast. No progression. No strategy.

Just fatigue on top of fatigue.

Your body doesn’t adapt to chaos and inconsistency. It adapts to clear, repeatable signals.

Your performance will improve when your training has intention:

Aerobic work that actually builds capacity instead of draining it.
Threshold sessions that expand what you can sustain.
Strength work that progresses week to week and not workout to workout.
Hard days that are truly hard and your easy days that actually allow recovery

The people who make real progress year after year aren’t chasing soreness. They’re following a structure. They’re respecting recovery. And they’re building something.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿...

We’re human beings, not robots.

Health and fitness isn’t built on perfection, or having an “all or nothing” mindset.

It’s not about never missing a workout, never feeling tired, or forcing your body to perform the same way every single day.

Real health is adaptive. It’s changes all of the time…

It changes with stress, sleep, seasons of life, and mental load.

Your body isn’t failing because it needs rest.

Progress doesn’t come from punishment.

It comes from consistency with compassion.

Train hard when you can, and pull back when you should.

From listening instead of overriding every signal.

Some days you can push.
Some days you should pause.
Some days rest is the most productive thing you can do.

That balance isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s sustainability.

And sustainability is a sign that you’re building something good.

Getting started is the hardest part…

You don’t have to feel good to get started but you do have to get started to be in with any chance of feeling good…..

Nobody finishes a walk, a run or a workout and feels worse off for it.

The idea that somebody is going to sprinkle you with motivation just isn’t going to happen, nobody is coming to save you or do it for you.

Get started, go for the worlds slowest jog, walk 10 minutes more than yesterday, go to a gym class, go to the gym for half hour.

Getting started is the hardest part!

Now watch how your “motivation” builds with consistency and results!

You can absolutely do it alone — and I respect anyone who tries…

But I also know how frustrating it can feel when you’re doing your best and still not seeing the progress you want. I’ve been there, like most.

That’s where having a coach in your corner changes the game…

Not just because you need a training program, but for all of the reasons below…

✅ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲
You’ll stop guessing or second-guessing yourself. You get a clear, personalized, and progressive plan built around you, your lifestyle and your goals, so you know you’re moving in the right direction.

✅ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
Motivation comes and goes, meaning you can’t rely on it. Life gets busy. Energy dips. A coach will keep you showing up on the days you’d rather skip, those are often the days that matter most.

✅ 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆
Your time is valuable. Instead of bouncing between random workouts, you follow smart programming that actually gets you moving closer to your goals, not further away.

✅ 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
Everyone hits setbacks. Plateaus happen. Confidence wobbles. A coach is there to help you work through it, adjust the plan when needed, and keep you moving forward, not constantly feeling like you’re stuck in a rut.

✅ 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻
Quick fixes and going it without a clear plan will only work for so long. A coach helps you build habits, strength, and consistency that stands to support you long after the initial hype fades.

📩 DM me if you’re ready to take that next step.

A lot of people, and that includes PT’s too when they’re programming for clients, will mess themselves or their clients up by programming movements they aren’t ready to perform.

Programming should always be based on what that person can/can’t perform with proper technique.

If the ability of that person warrants a more advanced progression, then you can move onto something else.

For example, barbell deadlifts or barbell squats aren’t a day 1 movement for most people new to the gym.

Tapered down versions of those exercises with a view of progressing to those two movements further down the line on the other hand, are!

Program exercises that you can perform optimally.

Load it.

Set a standard to meet in order to advance to another progression.

Once that standard is met, then you can move on.

Your results will be much better.

And you won’t hurt yourself in the process.

𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 ✅

How has it been?

What’s worked well, what’s not worked so well?

What could you do differently?

What have you learned about yourself?

Whether you hit your goals this month or you started the process of working towards them, every little step counts.

Remember, progress is progress, no matter how quick or slow you achieve it.

Look to keep building momentum, stay focused, and make 2026 your best year yet!

22/01/2026

Standards matter, in training and in life.

I’ve been coaching now for over 13 years and as a coach, I believe results don’t come from random workouts or quick fixes…

They come from clear non-negotiables that guide every decision in the gym….

And these are the standards I hold myself to, whether I’m coaching athletes chasing performance or everyday people who just want to feel stronger, move better, and stay pain free.

Every program I design has a purpose.
Every exercise has a reason.
And every client gets coaching that meets them where they’re at, not where social media or the outside world says they should be.

If you’re tired of guessing, tired of spinning your numerous plates, or ready to raise the standard of how you train…
